The coxed quads are continued by popular demand. These events are aimed at crews with some racing experience, but who are not yet ready to race in the coxless events.

The double sculls are new events for 2018, to offer masters, particularly those from smaller clubs and masters squads that may not be able to field fours or quads, an additional opportunity to race. These will be handicap events for Masters E/F and G/H crews.
